Inclusion Quality Mark

Granton was first assessed, and awarded, the Inclusion Quality Mark in July 2014. They were then reassessed on the 6th July 2017. Below is a summary of the comments:

"Since the school’s first review in 2014, there is solid evidence of the knowledge andunderstanding of an ‘Inclusion Agenda’ by all stakeholders, which was eloquentlyverbalised by all of the children I met with during my visit. All elements of the IQMreview demonstrated a ‘whole school approach’ and high levels of skill, expertise andbest practice.

The recognition of the school’s promotion of this approach and ethos can be notedthrough the variety of ‘quality marks’ and ‘awards’ that the school is rightly proud of.The school’s leadership team have developed a balance between self-review anddevelopment of inclusion across the whole school and have shown true partnershipwith a variety of school stakeholders.

I am of the strong opinion that based on the self-evaluation report and the clear futuretargets the school has set for itself, the school is well placed to meet all the criteria of theInclusion Quality Mark. I recommend that Granton Primary School should be awardedthe Inclusion Quality Mark and be reviewed in 3 years’ time."
